Verse

Lycopodium, - We note
Thee as one of yellow bloat.
Yellow sputum - scale and skin,
Bloat of cavities within.
Wind from out the matrix pouring,
Wind within the entrails roaring.
When we see a fan-like moving
Of the nostrils, we have proving
Of a call in thy direction
For some inner chest infection.
When we find the urine spent,
Shows a red and sediment.
Then a call for thee we find
For some ail of renal kind.
Or perhaps an intimation,
Of arthritic inflammation.
Thine a sadness of the mind,
Vertigo of the reeling kind.
Fetid scabs upon the head,
Gummy eyes, and eyelids red.
Black specks floating in the sight,
Only seeing left half-right.
Tender teeth, and bleeding gums,
Falling jaw, when typhoid comes.
Sore throat starting in the right,
Might be diphtheritic plight.
So closed up, that liquid flows
Back, when swallowed, through the nose.
With a craving hunger teased,
Or with sudden fullness seized.
Or condition, as a rule,
As of being over full.
Hawking, heartburn, water brash,
With tender liver, nash, -
Rectum down, and tender piles,
Constipation in all styles.
Backache finding mitigation
In the act of urination.
Menstruation stopped by fright,
Leucorrhoea thin and white.
Ailments worse we safely state
In the evening, 4 to 8.
Also worse when sitting, lying,
Or when first motion trying.
Better by continued motion,
Similar to the Rhus tox. notion.
